Speaking From Experience, Final Designs

So having gone through the development stages of designing the stickers and now having a colour scheme to work with i've made what i believe to be the final sticker designs, 

 




Please excuse the print-screen image here, i made the highly school boy error of making all the stickers much larger than they should have been! So doing this s
aved me shrinking this image down so that
 
it would fit into the art-board as if i had done, i would had to have spend time on scaling all the line Pt. sizes down and trying to recreate them to look like how they were!
Besides this, i added two more colour variations to
 the lot, this matching the set of designs as now i have 6 different sti
cker designs and 6 different colour sc
hemes. The c
olours are in all fairness quite similar
 with one another, mostly one colour being changed each time like, This emphasizing the fact that they are a pack of stickers, a family and they need to be in a similar style to appear so!  It is the also the colours that will make the stickers stand out and appear more bold and i feel the ones i have chosen do this effectively.

SIZE ISSUES
When creating the stickers it came 
to mind that size was going to be an issue, im already limited to A4 as that is the only size of vinyl sticker paper i could get my mits on! however some of the objects i am 'pricing' are much larger than others, so i need a range of sizes basically! 
This being a simple method of creating a list of small medium and large objects then choosing which ones to uses! 
So i came to the decision that i will end up with 4 small stickers, 2 medium sized stickers and finally 3 large stickers...










I chose to mix the colours up between the signs, but in no particular order or anything! This also applies for the design of the sticker! But yeah i like the outcome of the stickers and fortunately when i started on these specific designs it didnt take long to find a good outcome, which was nice!

Nice resolution, love the colours. And to get round the Illustrator problem, go to Edit>Preferences>General then check the Scale Strokes & Effects box. All your line weights will change size as you scale the image.
